i want to say 5/16" by 1/4" longer than the mounting plate and motor mounts are tall. get washers and ny-locs. i used carriage bolts this time, because in the past i used regular socket heads and it chewed up the mounting plate. not so with the carriage bolts.

okay thanx...do the motors come with key stock for mounting a clutch?
should, on the pto shaft where the clutch mounts, there should be a 'baggie' with a rubber band around it. this is done to keep the key and crank from rusting together while awaiting purchase. if not on the crank end, search the box. if you absolutely don't have it, a foot of key stock is like $5? some of the clutches have the key made into them though.

Are the holes on the mounting plate on the motor threaded?

Ok I got my clone and i see how the throttle should be set up but im wondering if there is something else i need to do because the thottle lever seems too stiff moving it back in forth to really spring back when you let off the gas on the kart???

That's because these engines are designed to be used on an implement at a constant RPM. Set the throttle by hand and leave it there. In our case, you have to slightly loosen the bolt that the throttle lever pivots on, and install a spring to make it spring back to idle.

For the throttle, you can use a bicycle brake cable, and the conduit (tubing, sheath) for it. If you buy it as a new, universal kit, it'll come with one end already swaged on.
